Why Dilip Jaiswal got the nod as the BJP's new chief in Bihar
PATNA: Senior BJP leader Dilip Kumar Jaiswal has been appointed as the new president of the party's Bihar unit replacing Samrat Choudhary who served as state chief of the party for nearly 16 months. Jaiswal is from the OBC Vaishya community and may help consolidate its members behind the BJP ahead of the Bihar Assembly polls next year. The state revenue and land reforms minister, he has been picked for the top party post in the state by the BJP high command in view of his vast experience in the partys organisation. Jaiswal, a native of Khagaria district in north Bihar, is considered close to Union Home Minister Amit Shah. A third-term member of the Bihar Legislative Council, he is also in charge of the Sikkim BJP and has been the party's treasurer for the past two decades in Bihar. He is considered a key party organiser in the Kishanganj and Seemanchal regions of the state. Jaiswal thanked the central leadership of the party for reposing faith in him and said that he would meet the expectations of the partys top brass. Deputy chief minister Samrat Choudhary was holding the post of BJP chief in the state so far. It was expected that Choudhary, a Kushwaha leader, would be relieved of the post of state party president ever since he was given the number two position in the new Nitish government formed in January this year. The BJP had appointed Choudhary to the post with the hope of consolidating the votes of the Luv-Kush -- Kurmi-Kushwaha (Koeri) castes. Both castes constitute nearly 10% of the states population. In the recent Lok Sabha polls, the NDA gave tickets to seven Kushwaha candidates, but the alliance lost Buxar, Sasaram, Karakat and Aurangabad, all seats with huge Kushwaha votes.

Mamata to attend NITI Aayog meet to protest budget 'bias, conspiracy to divide states'
KOLKATA: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee confirmed on Friday that she would participate in the central think-tank NITI Aayog meeting scheduled on July 27 in Delhi. Banerjee's statement came amid speculations of uncertainty on whether she, too, would skip the meet like most other CMs of the INDIA bloc. Talking to reporters at the Kolkata airport before leaving for Delhi, Banerjee said she would join the meeting and use the opportunity to register her protest against a discriminatory budget and the conspiracy to divide Bengal and other opposition-ruled states. The chief minister said she was asked to send her written speech seven days ahead of the meeting which she has done and it was before the Union Budget was tabled. I will stay at the meeting for a while. If I get an opportunity to deliver my speech at the meeting and record my protest against the discrimination and political bias against the opposition-ruled states in the budget besides the conspiracy that is being hatched to divide Bengal and its neighbouring states, I will do so. Else, I will walk out of the meeting, the chief minister said. Banerjee, accompanied by her nephew and TMC MP-cum-national general secretary Abhishek Banerjee, left for Delhi on Friday afternoon after postponing her trip to the national capital by a day. The postponement had stirred speculations on whether Banerjee, who had earlier expressed her intention to attend the NITI Aayog meeting, would join the bandwagon of opposition party chief ministers. Several INDIA bloc CMs had announced their decision to skip the meet as a mark of protest against the Union budget which, they alleged, was anti-federal in spirit and extremely discriminatory towards their states. The list includes Tamil Nadu CM MK Stalin of the DMK, Kerala Chief Minister and CPI(M) leader Pinarayi Vijayan, Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann of the Aam Aadmi Party and all three Congress chief ministers, Karnataka's Siddaramaiah, Himachal Pradesh's Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu and Telegana's Revanth Reddy. Jharkhand CM Hemant Soren of the JMM is, however, likely to join the meeting despite earlier reports that he, too, had chosen to give it a miss. All opposition-ruled states, including Bengal, have been totally deprived in this Budget. The Centre has taken a step-motherly attitude towards these states. I cannot accept such discrimination and political bias against us, Banerjee said. Referring to BJP Bengal president and junior union minister Sukanta Majumdar's proposal to integrate north Bengal with the North Eastern states but without directly naming him, Banerjee said she strongly condemned such statements coming at a time when the Parliament is in session. There's a conspiracy to divide Bengal, Bihar, Jharkhand and Assam. While the minister is making his own statements, the demand to divide the states is now coming from various other quarters of the BJP.Dividing Bengal means dividing India, she said. Calling the conspiracy a geographical and political blockade besides the economic blockade which the Centre has already imposed on Bengal, Banerjee said she would stick to her earlier position of attending the NITI Aayog meeting but only have her voice of protest on record. Hemant (Soren) and I will be present at the meeting. We will speak on behalf of the others (who won't be present), she said.

Rijiju: Opposition is trying to stall House during Budget debate
NEW DELHI: Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju on Thursday accused the Opposition leaders of resorting to politics and abusing Prime Minister Narendra Modi instead of participating in a constructive debate during the discussion on Budget in Parliament. The Opposition should not do this. Instead of speaking on the finer aspects of the Budget document, they are abusing the PM and creating disruptions, he alleged. Speaking to reporters at his residence on Thursday morning, Rijiju further said that the manner in which some Opposition leaders have delivered their speeches amounts to insult to the House and lowers the dignity of the Budget session. The minister said that people have given their mandate to Modi for a third term, but the Opposition leaders are insulting it. The people have given the mandate to Prime Minister Modi for a third consecutive time. If anybody attempts to insult the mandate of the people, they would be certainly given a befitting reply by the people in the next elections, he said. Rijijus remarks came a day after the Opposition dubbed the Budget as discriminatory against the non-NDA-ruled states and accused the Prime Minister of running a shaky and vulnerable coalition government. The Opposition had also described the Budget as a kursi bachao (save the chair) document. The Opposition leaders had on Wednesday alleged that the Budget was dedicated only to two states Bihar and Andhra Pradesh, where the NDAs two allies, JDU and TDP, are in power. Echoing the Prime Ministers speech on the first day of the parliamentary session, Rijiju said that the elections were over and now the focus should be to work towards a developed India (Viksit Bharat) through holding constructive discussions on the Union Budget on the floors of both the Houses of Parliament. But the Opposition leaders did not say anything on the Budget. They indulged in doing politics during the discussion on the Budget, Rijiju said. The minister said floor leaders of political parties should direct their members not to create ruckus inside Parliament and have a serious debate on the Budget.
MoS demands housing for sportspersons in RS
NEW DELHI: The Rajya Sabha on Thursday witnessed a different kind of demand by Minister of State for Defence Sanjay Seth during zero hour. Seth demanded housing facility for the countrys sportspersons. I urge the government to introduce a separate scheme for providing affordable housing to sportspersons, especially those from rural areas, he said. Seth highlighted the housing challenges faced by rural athletes who relocate to cities for training. I think while all facilities are being made available for our sportspersons, a major inconvenience they face is housing, he said. He also appealed for a dedicated housing scheme on the lines of the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojna giving some weightage to sportspersons. Seth also wished success for the 117 Indian athletes who will participate in the Paris Olympics. While welcoming the NDA governments sincere efforts since 2014 to boost sports infrastructure and training facilities, he said the allocation of over Rs 3,400 crore in this years budget for sports showed the governments genuine concern for them. He said infrastructure like constructing stadiums and sports complexes in every district would be an added boost to the performance of sportspersons. In another demand during the Zero Hour, RJD MP AD Sinha demanding hiking MSP for the farmers cultivating makhana (fox nut) in Bihar. Sinha said Bihar accounts for about 90% of Indias total makhana production and produced nearly 10,000 tonnes of it annually. Despite the demand of makhana going up, farmers are not getting fair prices. Makhana is sold at `8,000 per kg in the international market, but farmers get only `400 per kg due to lack of support, he said.
Poor planning, mgmt delayed projects in Patna Smart Cities Mission: CAG
The deficient financial management, poor planning and inclusion of unfeasible projects resulted in delayed or incomplete execution of projects under the Smart Cities Mission in Patna, the CAG said in a report. The Comptroller and Auditor General of India (CAG) said that unfeasible projects were included in the list of 44 initially approved projects, indicating poor planning on the part of Patna Smart City Limited (PSCL) and the Urban Development and Housing Department (UD&HD) of Bihar government. This ultimately resulted in delayed/incomplete execution of projects. The financial management of PSCL was also deficient, as funds had been diverted for unapproved projects and incorrect utilisation certificates had been submitted, said the compliance audit report of the CAG for the year ended March 31, 2022, which was tabled in the Bihar assembly on Thursday. The contract management for the mission was also poor as the complete scheme did not fulfil the desired objectives, it ...

Lok Sabha Budget Debate Erupts in Chaos: Treasury and Opposition Clash Over Budget Criticisms
NEW DELHI: A war of words broke out between the Treasury and the Opposition Benches as the debate on the Union Budget resumed in the Lok Sabha on Thursday. While the Opposition flayed the Budget for being partisan, the Treasury Benches asserted that it will spur employment and help India in its march for all-round development, resulting in disruptions in the Lower House. During the discussion on the Budget, the Lok Sabha witnessed a major fracas between Congress MP Charanjit Singh Channi and BJPs Ravneet Singh Bittu. Amid the heated debate between the Treasury and the Opposition Benches, BJP member Sandhya Ray, who was in the chair, adjourned the proceedings of the House for the first time around 1.30 pm for about 30 minutes. When the House reassembled at 2 pm, there was more drama as TMC MP Kalyan Banerjee tried to sit next to defence minister Rajanth Singh. The defence minister virtually stopped the TMC MP from doing so. The Lok Sabha was adjourned twice on Thursday. In a debate on the Union Budget, Mr Channi referred to the assassination of Mr Bittu's grandfather, former Punjab chief minister Beant Singh. Ahead of the Lok Sabha polls, Mr Bittu quit the Congress to join the BJP. Mr Bittu, who is serving as the minister of state in the Modi Cabinet, countered by making certain personal remarks against Mr Channi and former Congress president Sonia Gandhi, triggering an uproar. Amid the angry exchange of words, Congress MP Amrinder Singh Raja Warring tried to enter the Well of the House but was stopped by Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi. From the Treasury Benches, Mr Bittu also tried to enter the Well. Amid the ruckus, Ms Ray, who was in the chair, adjourned the proceedings for 30 minutes till 2 pm. When the House reconvened, Mr Singh urged Speaker Om Birla to remove any unparliamentary references and continue with the debate. Mr Birla also directed the Treasury and the Opposition members to maintain the dignity of the House, adding that ministers especially should not break the rules. Mr Channi then proceeded to conclude his speech. He mentioned the meeting of Nr Gandhi with some farmer leaders on Wednesday, adding that they had also sought time to meet the Prime Minister. He also accused the government of not keeping its promises to the farmers. Commerce minister Piyush Goyal intervened and accused Mr Channi of misleading the House, saying he should authenticate his allegations. Mr Channi accused the members of the ruling party of obstructing his speech and alleged that the government was overlooking farmers. He stressed that the farmers had several demands, including one for a loan waiver. As he alleged that National Security Act (NSA) provisions were invoked against protesting farmers, parliamentary affairs minister Kiren Rijiju said Mr Channi should authenticate the allegations and accused him of misleading the House. Mr Rijiju also urged the chair to move a privilege motion against Mr Channi. The war of words between the ruling and the Opposition Benches went on even after the former Punjab chief minister concluded his speech. As NCP MP Tatkare Sunil Dattatrey started his speech, Mr Banerjee objected to a minister taking the seat next to the member. Mr Birla clarified that seats have not been allotted yet and the minister was sitting on a seat meant for the NDA members. Mr Banerjee then said that he will also sit on a different seat and tried to sit next to the defence minister on the Treasury Benches' side. Mr Singh was seen stopping the TMC MP from doing so. He later returned to his seat. As the ruckus continued, Jagadambika Pal, who was then in chair, adjourned the House till 3 pm. The House resumed normal functioning after it met at 3 pm. Later speaking outside Parliament, Mr Bittu accused Mr Channi of indulging in anti-national behaviour. Mr Bittu said: An ex-CM was behaving like an anti-national and is misleading the world through the House. Why did he do? He said NSA was imposed on farmers, while NSA has been imposed on those who were trying to divide the country and Punjab. An ex-CM made remarks that were aimed at dividing the country and Punjab while Mr Gandhi was sitting there. When I said on the floor that he should provide evidence, he went on the backfoot. The Congress party and INDIA bloc have been embarrassed because of him, Mr Bittu said. During a debate in Lok Sabha without naming anyone, Mr Channi said, This is also an emergency that a member of Parliament elected by 20-lakh people in Punjab has been detained under the National Security Act... He is unable to speak about his constituency here (in Parliament). This is also an emergency. While Mr Channi did not name anyone, BJP leaders said that he was speaking about Amritpal Singh, who won the Khadoor Sahib Lok Sabha constituency by a margin of around 2-lakh votes in the general election. He listed the lack of progress in the Sidhu Moosewala case, action against the Opposition leaders by Central agencies and alleged mistreatment of farmers, women athletes, and journalists as evidence of this. Union minister Giriraj Singh said that Mr Channi's remarks made inside Parliament were unfortunate. The Khalistani who assassinated former PM Indira Gandhi has received open support from Mr Channi today, which means the Congress is siding with the Khalistanis. This is an attack on the integrity of India... I will say action should be taken, Mr Singh said. Participating in the Budget debate, Trinamul MP Saugata Roy stated that finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman is not a rained economist and the Budget presented by her was based on notes received from the Prime Minister's Office as she has o original ideas. I do not expect the finance minister to be like Manmohan Singh..., Mr Roy said. Mr Roy said: You (Ms Sitharaman) have been a minister for seven years. You are not a trained economist...you have been lucky that way. Some members of the House raised voices opposing his statement. Samajwadi Party MP Dimple Yadav said the Budget is political and Uttar Pradesh has been overlooked in the budget. Rashtriya Lok Dal leader and Union minister Jayant Choudhary, however, said Ms Sitharaman will reply to the leaders' allegations in the House. The finance minister will reply to it in the House. This is not the first time some states are mentioned or some schemes are mentioned. Nirmala ji is an experienced finance minister. She named some states; no one should be jealous, he said. Mr Sitharaman on Tuesday announced significant financial measures for Bihar and Andhra Pradesh, ruled by key NDA allies -- Nitish Kumar-led JD(U) and Chandrababu Naidu's TDP -- which are providing critical support to the BJP-led government at the Centre.
